We had to finish our seasons by April or so, so we got used to playing in some really nasty, cold weather. But now I can't stand to play sub-60...in spite of my ToTV name. LOL!! So I guess I'm officially a Floridian. :)


Old limbs don’t work good when there numb? :icon_wink: especially my back!

When I lived up north I never zipped up my jacket until it hit 32 or below.
When we first moved to FL in 1997 I used to pray for a cold front to come this far down.

Now, after 23 years, I am officially a Floridian. Anything below 60 is unacceptable. ☺️

me too. Loved Maine but I don't miss the snow and cold.

It was the same temperature this morning as it was at my other home in Canada!!!!

I’m reading all these posts, and smiling and nodding my head as I read each one!

Been here eight years and can't stand it when it gets below 75.

Born in Buffalo NY, lived 24 years in Upstate NY. Moved to Atlanta 28 years, now at TV...and we freeze if it’s below 65-70. Would not move back north for anything! Chilly morning outside today! 🥶🥶🥶

It may also have to do with aging😊

61? Throw in some rain and it sounds like a fine summer day in Seattle.......

I had to buy a neck scarf today to make it bearable to walk the dog. The dog LOVES the cold.

A few years ago when I first got to TV we went on a day trip to Daytona to the beach. The temperature outside was about 75 and sunny, the water temperature about 70. My friends were complaining it was a little cool. I said I was going into the water and they thought I was totally crazy. I told them this is as warm as it ever gets up north so it felt great to me. Having lived hear for a few years would not do it again.

I noticed that 60 feels colder in Florida than it does up North when I was just visiting TV. Not sure why that is the case but it does seem there is usually a breeze down here. Comparable temps in the summers feel cooler down here too.

Let me guess wearing shorts and sandals. 😌

[QUOTE=tophcfa;1870964]I am stuck up north in Westerm, MA

Where in Western MA? I'm from the Springfield area.
It took less than a year for me to acclimate to the weather here. First of all, I love the heat. But anything under 75, and I'm probably in a light jacket or sweatshirt and jeans. I just don't like the cool weather.

I went to college in Northern PA and would only wear an old red Scout Jacket all winter. No matter what, I was always warm. Today, I find myself putting on the extra clothes to keep warm. But I have to ask - Why is there a wind on the coldest days of the year but a breeze on a hot day is hard to find?

I wish I had my dog's winter coat! He's outside all day now. A month ago barking to come in out of the heat by 10 am.
